jerboa
Definition
(Noun) A hopping, rat-like creature, native to the Mid-East and parts of Asia. A depiction of a jerboa during WWII was the shoulder flash of the British 7th Armoured Division - the "Desert Rats," popularly.Except that they're usually depicted in films as the Australian 9th Division - maybe Richard Burton's Welsh accent sounded Australian to the producer.
